The recent attacks in Maiduguri, Borno State, are deeply tragic. I mourn those who lost their lives, sympathise with the injured, and stand firmly with the people of Borno during this difficult time.
These cowardly acts are desperate attempts by terrorists trying to spread fear, even as our armed forces and security agencies maintain pressure on them nationwide.
We will continue to intensify operations against all criminal elements. I commend the courage of our troops who repelled coordinated attacks on military positions, demonstrating patriotism and resilience.
Additional equipment and operational support have been approved to strengthen security forces. Security chiefs have been directed to Maiduguri, and emergency agencies are providing care for the injured.
There is no safe haven for terrorists in Nigeria. We will locate, confront, and defeat them.
Nigeria will not bow to fear. 🇳🇬
